There are approximately XX Grizzly bears in Brish Columbia 1
In BC, the grizzly bear population is divided into 55 Grizzly Bear Population Units (GBPUs).
Using GBPUs helps us to identify localised concenservation concerns and prioritise management across the province.
Each GBPU is assigned a management status (M5 to M1) which represents least concern to highest concern. Management status are based on three main components 1) population size and isolation, 2) population trends and 3) levels of threat to bears or bear habitat. This is based on the NatureServe status assesment method 2
The overall threat was determined by considered six catergories ; Agriculture, Biouse, Climate Change, Energy, Human intrusion, Residential, Transportation.
